If I Could Only Be Like You

(Reba McEntire with Susie Luchsinger)



I know I haven't said the words the way I used to

I should've made the time, I know

When I didn't know which way to turn, I turned to you

You always seemed to know which way to go

You know you always seem to see the best in me

You stand by me, no matter how things are

If I haven't told you lately how I feel

Let me tell you now, what's in my heart



If I could only be like you

You always seemed to see the good

And then you make a dream come true

And ask for nothing in return

You always know just what to do

You're someone I can look up to

I'd be a better me

If I could only be like you



You know, you've always seen me through the worst of times

You have a way of lighting up the dark

And though we're sometimes far apart somehow across the miles

I still know you're never very far

You know you always seem to see the best in me

And you stand by me no matter how things are

If I haven't told you lately how I feel

Let me tell you now, what's in my heart



If I could only be like you

You always seemed to see the good

And then you make a dream come true

And ask for nothing in return

You always know just what to do

You're someone I can look up to

I'd be a better me

If I could only be like you

Like you - like you
